It's a far cry from Springfield, but comedic actor and "The Simpsons" voice artist Hank Azaria recently purchased a home in Bel-Air for $10 million. The gated traditional has seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms in about 9,000 square feet of living space,...

Michael Cera's new movie is called "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World," but it was really "Scott Pilgrim" vs. two much more worldly films at the box office this weekend. And "Scott Pilgrim" got pummeled, barely doing $10.5 million, which is......
